We started…read moregoing to Bird Rock Animal Hospital as we were looking for a vet that was nearby, provided quality care, allowed us to be in the room with our dog, and has a knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Bird Rock Animal Hospital met all the criteria. Our dog is very anxious and has had some traumatic experiences, but the staff here has been very patient with him. We've been doing our part to prepare him for visits and the staff has appreciated the efforts we've taken and we appreciate theirs as well! They've even suggested that we just stop in and say hi when we're in the area just so our dog can get used to being at the vet (and getting treats). The care our dog has received has been great here and we've appreciated the advice provided as well.

Dr. John and his staff are VERY kind, professional, and helpful! You can tell that they truly love…read moreanimals and are so loving toward them. 1) HONEST VET: Dr. John only does what is necessary and best for the animal. He does NOT try to nickel and dime you. Instead, he gives as many discounts as he can. Dr. John is honest and super practical. He is an extremely experienced vet. 2) EDUCATIONAL: During my dog's initial exam, Dr. John took the time to explain everything. I did not feel rushed at all--it was great! He is passionate about what he does. He was very thorough. I've owned dogs for most of my life, but I learned so much about dog healthcare from him. 3) EXCELLENT DENTAL CARE: My dog underwent dental surgery here. My dog's teeth were very stained before her surgery, but Dr. John and his techs cleaned them SO well. My dog's teeth were SUPER white and clean! They looked like puppy teeth! More importantly, Dr. John takes extra steps to ensure your pet's safety during the procedure. (For example, they start a catheter.) He also monitors your pet very closely during and after the procedure. 4) ABOVE AND BEYOND: While she was under anesthesia, they surgically removed her skin tag, clipped her nails, gave her saline bolus, and gave her 24-hour antibiotics--ALL FREE OF CHARGE!!! 5) CLEAN: They have a brand-new facility that is well maintained and ultra clean, which I appreciate. 6) STAFF: Yvonne, the tech, is so sweet! When I got there, she was cuddling my dog and telling me all of the funny things that my dog was doing while I was gone. After the procedure, they noticed that my dog did not like being in the crate, so they let her run around inside, since there weren't any other dogs there. His receptionists are very friendly, helpful, and informative, as well! 7) AVAILABILITY: It is so easy to book appointments, and they have a lot of availability. Also, when I call the office with question, Dr. John himself will get on the phone to answer it. He is very hands-on. 110% recommended!!!!!

I've interacted with Dr. Morisi multiple times as he is my mother's dog's vet. He is good at…read morehandling animals. I will give him that. But he always seemed fairly condescending and full of himself to me. We were watching my sister's dog and she suddenly had a squinting eye and I was concerned so I brought her in. He was dismissive of my suggestions, cut me off while I was trying to answer one of his questions and was rude in his response in doing so. I said we weren't aware of any injury that had taken place to cause the squinting. I wondered if she was also experiencing allergies because her other eye, while not squinting and or with swollen lids, was pretty red. He dismissed that, said if allergies were part of the issue, both eyes would be squinting. Fine. Then he asked me "is the discharge watery or is it mucus-y?" I was replying, I was going to say "Yeah, it's more mucus-y" but as soon as I said "yeah, it's" he rudely cut me off and said "I just asked you if it was watery or mucusy and you said 'yeah' so which is it?" I'm like, well, if you hadn't cut me off after two words in my sentence, if you had let me say the other two words in my sentence, it would've been faster and you wouldn't look like an asshole right now. My sister came to get her dog and took her to her vet and that vet said that she believed the dog was experiencing itchy eyes from allergies and had been scratching at the one eye with her paw and damaged her cornea. She said the insides of her ears were irritated and red, too, further pointing toward allergies. She agreed with the medicated eye drops our dismissive vet prescribed but said that the dog would also need allergy medicine, it wasn't enough to treat just the eye injury, the allergic reaction in the eyes need to be treated too, to remove the source of discomfort that had caused her to feel compelled to do the behavior that ended up hurting her in the first place. Just because you're the "expert" in the room doesn't mean you're necessarily smarter or more observant than than your clients, generally speaking. You should converse with humans paying your bills and trusting you to care for their animals with respect. You were right about the injury but I was right about the allergies being involved in this issue. If we had a car, my mom and I would switch vets happily. I don't know why people who have their choice of vets would stick around to have to converse with that man. He didn't even suggest a cone which my sister's vet said is basic practice a vet should carry out when there's eye damage, to protect the eye from exposure to anything. My mom and I, seeing she was trying to scratch her eye and rub it on the carpet after getting home, decided she needed a cone and luckily had an old one from an incident with her dog a couple of years prior. That's some gross incompetence on his part. Inadequate and rude.

Pearl Street Pet Hospital has completely restored my faith in veterinary care after 14 years of…read moredisappointing and often heartbreaking experiences here in San Diego County. I'm so grateful to have found them during the last few years of my dog, Betty's life. They were so incredibly caring to her. And so helpful- always being straightforward with information. Just recently, we had to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to Betty. The team at Pearl Street guided us through her euthanasia with SO much love, kindness, and dignity. It was one of the hardest days of my life, yet they somehow made it feel peaceful, beautiful, and full of love. They treated Betty and us with so much compassion and respect. With them, here is never a sense of being rushed or like we're just another appointment on the schedule. Their compassion is genuine, and you can feel how deeply they care. Every veterinarian, technician, and staff member we have met is warm, patient, and truly invested in the well-being of the animals they care for. And honestly, the hospital itself deserves a mention. It is absolutely GORGEOUS. Beautifully designed, spotless, and incredibly welcoming. Most vet offices can feel stressful (and honestly kind of gross), but walking into Pearl Street feels more like walking into a spa. The calming atmosphere reflects the level of care and attention they put into every part of the experience. We continue to bring our other dog to Pearl Street and continue to be blown away by the level of care. We recently signed up for one of their wellness plans, and it was a total no-brainer. For an affordable monthly fee, it includes so much preventative and routine care throughout the year. It's an incredible value and gives us peace of mind knowing our dog is getting the care she needs. Nothing compares to Pearl Street Pet Hospital. If you're looking for a veterinary team that combines exceptional medical care with genuine compassion, this is the place. We are endlessly grateful for the love they showed Betty and continue to show our family. Also HUGE shoutout to Shelley, Dr. Wilcox, Dr. Mandeville, Kendra and Phoenix! Thank you for all the loving care.

They walked us through everything in detail -- first the vet (Dr. Roberts was beyond wonderful) and then the awesome vet tech. We waited and received the bloodwork results, which were explained LINE BY LINE by Dr Roberts. There was no getting this over with quickly. She literally kneeled on the floor next to me to explain everything. I was so touched by everyone here.
